And this my friends is one of the reasons i want to depart this foul diseased country for ever.

I really do feel for the cops in this.
Theyre stuck in the middle of a godammed battlefield with these pissed up dumbells causing this trouble simply cos they cant handle their drink.

How the cops dont just kick the living shat outa these thugs is beyond me, it really is.
Im afraid id last about 30 seconds before i blew my stack with these retards and laid fully into em.
Maybe thats whats needed? A bit of hard reverse violence to instill some fear into them?

Seeing the various places featured makes me feel sick. Personally itd be worth dropping a dammed nuke on em just to clear out the scum problem.

Britain? You can keep it, im outa of it.

Problem is Delta, these programmes could feature any town in the UK and still present the same sort of picture at kicking out time.
I'm sure there are many European cities and towns that suffer from drunken gangs and idiots.
Lots of alcohol in a short space of time turns lots of people into idiots, whether they are 'scum' or not.
I think systematic police brutality or WMD attacks may create a slightly more hostile environment.

The prog presented a significant number of incidents, with many pertaining to have "innocent parties".

I'm wondering if the police have a perception about what % of parties are innocent? as the prog highlighted people's lack of memory after drinking about what they had done.

Was funny though in places.... Bloke refusing to give his name.... Bloke wanting to be arrested

And gruesome.... girlfriend biting off part of blokes ear and him just taking it

Yes, the BIB really do earn their money in scenarios like this, having to deal with such grubby people (for want of another expression likely to be censored).

You really don't see this happening in most other countries, countries incidentally with 24-hour bar opening hours. The atmosphere in these other counties, France, Germany Spain, for example, at any hour is just pleasant. Why do we in the UK have such grubby scum and why do we pussy around in dealing with them?

I couldn't quite figure that out! I would imagine that they knew each other but even so I would have defended myslef after the first punch to my head and she certainly would not have got close enough to bite my ear off!

What is the correct thing to do when getting the crap kicked out of you buy a woman on the street?

If she had managed to hit me three or four times, i think i would be very tempted to lash out in self defense, and I would probably end up on an assault charge even if the whole thing was caught on CCTV, or is the law becoming more adaptable now that women are using violence against men?

I am very curious about this as i have had some pretty horrible women/girls (not ladies) mouth of at me and i felt completely helpless. If i shout back I seem to be threatening a woman, if i don't do anything it could escalate cos she thinks i don't take her seriously etc.

What to do?

Is it possible for a man on the street to be able to claim self defense against a woman on the street yet?

Don't know if any Irish PHer's can confirm this but.. I've just come back from a second long weekend away with my g/f in Dublin and we were both left wondering where Britain went wrong.

On both occasions we've found the Irish to be pleasant, courteous and pretty laid-back people. We went out in the city centre for a meal and several sherberts and walked back to the hotel feeling perfectly safe, none of the aggressive atmosphere and looking over your shoulder that you do here.

We even saw several pairs of plods walking the streets... at nearly midnight, something of a rarity here as the only time I've seen any in town of a weekend they're slapping parking tickets on cars up until 10pm when they p!ss off back to the station before the real trouble kicks off (or thats what it looks like anyway)

Our impressions were of a far more civilised place than Bliars Britain.

(Couldn't believe how clean the pavements were too, no litter.... even ouside Maccy D's!!... and no gangs of chavs about)

Zurich, Basel, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Essen, Munich, outskirt of Vienna and Innsbruck....Paris, Strasbourg, Toulouse, Lyon....

They have fair share of drunken idiots ....

But think Brits have the edge of drinking too much too quickly und believing this ist "proof of toppest night out.!"

Always has been.

If you need to deck her to save yourself injury, then do it! Just use what force is resonable and you will not fall foul of the law.

Last year I had a lovely princess attack me when I was on the ground handcuffing her mate who had too much to say for herself!

My attacker decided the best angle was from behind as I couldn't see her until the first kick connected with my back. On the second kick her inadequate flimsy low cut top parted to reveal a large pair of 'jabba clangers' swinging towards me for the third strike whereupon she was met by a squirt to the chops from the tackle attahced to my belt!

I was able to finish the job on her mate safely and then go and offer assistance to her which included replacing the offending orbs and me then becoming her best friend as she wouldn't let go of my arm because of the effect of my powerful ejaculation ! "Please don't leave me" she pleaded as she snotted and dribbled into the canvernous loops of material draped around her ample but now concealed cleavage!

I am sure 'you' would still think the worst if you turned up somewhere to find an unconscious woman with a fat Lip and a flustered looking guy with bruised knuckles claiming it was self defense!

I certainly would

I watched that it was horrendous, what i cannot understand is isn't there a law of being drunk and disorderly? if so just scoop them up and bang them in a cell until they are sober, no judge or jury automatic fine do not get out until it is paid. Some of these people spend £200 on booze they can certainly afford a fine. As for pissing in the street, if that was during the day indecent exposure at night he was told to put it away.
Sorry to the liberal minded on here but we treat these people too well.

Big problem.

Most average nicks have no more than 12 cells!
Where do we go after 10 p.m. on any night of the week if we happen to catch a speeder who needs accomodation?
